Wisconsin Cheese wins more national and international awards than any other state or country. Our tradition of cheesemaking excellence began more than 150 years ago and many of these historic methods are practiced unchanged today.

Cheesemaking is more than an occupation; it is a way of life in Wisconsin, the only place outside of Europe with a master cheesemaker program. Many families and facilities have been making cheese for four generations. With our revered heritage of cheesemaking, the state claims accolades for styles ranging from freshest Cheddar curds to 10-year-old Cheddar wheels, from Baby Swiss to Super Aged Parmesan and everything in between.
